Odd timestampts in /var/log/messages from sshd

I am running Fedora Core 5 on a dual PIII 450 Mhz machine, 1 GB of RAM, 
and OpensSSH_4.3p2/Open SSL 0.9.8a...

I am experiencing odd timestamps generated from sshd.  Basically 
whenever someone tries to login via ssh I see timestamps for the current 
time and then for a few hours before and then current time again.  For 
instance, here is a sample from /var/log/messages (disregard the 
ellipses as I chopped out the usernames/ip addresses):

Oct 23 08:57:26 adminserver sshd[19422]: Failed password for invalid 
user ... ssh2
Oct 23 *04:57:30* adminserver sshd[19423]: Failed password for invalid 
user ... ssh2
Oct 23 08:57:30 adminserver sshd[19424]: Failed password for invalid 
user ... ssh2
Oct 23 *04:57:34* adminserver sshd[19425]: Failed password for invalid 
user ... ssh2
Oct 23 08:57:34 adminserver sshd[19426]: Failed password for invalid 
user ... ssh2

The above was generated by executing:

grep sshd /var/log/messages | grep Failed

Has anyone ever experienced this? 

Thanks ahead of time...I have spent a few weeks trying to research this 
and have found nothing to help me.
